The analysts are clearly correct, and their compliments are most certainly unrelated to their need to generate a return on their investment. With Facebook's clear strategy - disclose any personal information you provide; link your comments to your photos using facial recognition; change your email address; limit your access to the internet by evenutally putting all your "liked" pages behind the Facebook firewall; continue to expand the real estate given over to ads, etc. - how is this not a winner?

I've written about FB's long-term value and in my estimation, pricing is not a determining factor of value long term.
See, "Facebook, Jazz and the Possibilities of Global Scale"

Problem wth FB relevancy model is that if you weren't friends in high school do you want to be friends now just because you went to the same school? And every time there is a security problem or they do one of their tweeks that annoy people new accounts go up.

Well, oh my, If JP Morgan says so, they must know (after all they understand their own inner working so well like with their $2B blunder). And Goldman Sachs, another bright star in the sky after the way they rated mortgage debt back in 2008. What a joke indeed. I would trust my moron neighbor before I trust these two clowns-of-organizations. Now, using the simplest of indicators, why would FB be a good investment at a P/E ratio of 80 when you can buy APPL at a P/E of 14 or GOOG at a P/E of 17? They all essentially do (or will do) the same thing?

Why is it that these two powerhouses just happened to issue their buy recommendations AFTER Facebook halted its post-IPO slide?

The underwriters ARE the ones propping up the stock. They still have lots of stock to unload, and they will do everything they can to avoid taking a big loss. But they can't keep it up for ever, so eventually the stock will continue its slide downward.
